FAQs

What does the Glintstone Staff do in Elden Ring? ›

Glintstone Staffs are a catalyst for using a variety of sorcery spells, and must be held while attempting to cast any sorcery. Most staffs lack much in the way of physical power or weapon skills, which will require you to rely on secondary armaments used in conjunction with a staff.

The best all-around Elden Ring staff: Carian Regal Scepter

If you want to be the best sorcerer you can be, you're going to need to dump a ton of levels into intelligence: 60, specifically, to use this staff. The Carian Regal Scepter is a reward for defeating Rennala, one of Elden Ring's five major bosses.

However, because you'll be dealing substantially more damage, Lusat's Glintstone Staff is worth using if you are willing to invest the levels into Mind and boost your FP.

If you need a go-to catalyst for casting powerful sorceries, the Carian Regal Scepter is for you. It can be created using Rennala's Remembrance.

Glintstone Staff Upgrades in Elden Ring

Requires regular reinforcement with Smithing Stone [1], Smithing Stone [2], Smithing Stone [3], Smithing Stone [4], Smithing Stone [5], Smithing Stone [6], Smithing Stone [7], Smithing Stone [8], and Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. Sorcery Scaling is based on Int stat.

Arguably The Best Katana For Mages

It is primarily a Dexterity/Intelligence scaling katana. Moonveil is one of the best Dexterity weapons in Elden Ring, and just so happens to be one of the best Intelligence weapons as well.

How does it affect your spells? Yes its worth it in the sense that upgrading them means you get a better sorcery/incantation scaling from the staves/seals thus your sorcery/incantations dealing higher damage. Upgrading staffs/seals gives more scaling.

Rellana's Twin Moons is one of the best spells Elden Ring has when it comes to pure damage, but the long casting time for this sorcery makes it extremely difficult to use. Many of the new bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree are agile, leaving little window to use this sorcery effectively.

Of the starting class staffs, the Astrologer's Staff is the best for players looking to make a pure magic build early on. It has a slightly better scaling score with Intelligence than the Glintstone Staff and improves more with each smithing stone upgrade.

Is the Meteorite Staff better than the Glintstone Staff? ›

The Academy Glintstone Staff beats the Meteorite Staff at +14 and higher for 36 INT for non-gravity sorceries. Regarding the D for strength scaling, that's just for melee damage. Strength does not affect the sorcery scaling on any staff.

While Lusat's Glintstone Staff increases Sorcery Power and FP cost, Azur's Glintstone Staff significantly reduces Cast Time for all Sorceries while also increasing their FP cost. It has incredibly high stat requirements, especially for the level at which most players acquire it.

The Carian Regal Scepter is arguably the best staff in the game. It's damage often outdoes Azur's Glintstone Staff, and it is incredibly fast to spellcast with, giving you an edge in particularly tough fights.

Sorcery scaling — 162-373

Save the obvious choice, the regal scepter has the highest scaling of any other staff at 80 Intelligence with an added boost to full moon sorcery that's probably less appreciated than it should be.

If you are going to put a lot of points into intelligence then the Carian Regal Scepter and Lustat Glintstone Staff are the best options. If you don't want to put as many points into intelligence then the Academy Glintstone Staff you get from Thops quest is a good choice.

The Glintstone Pebble is an offensive Glintstone Sorcery in Elden Ring, purchased from various sorcerers. The most basic glintstone sorcery of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. The glintstone serves as a conduit, launching magical projectiles at foes. This sorcery can be cast repeatedly and while in motion.

Never. It's pretty much straight-up the best staff in the game. IIRC even at full upgrade level, the other staves don't end up with S scaling. Definitely pick up a different staff to use over Meteor.
